(Archive) Advertising District / PRACTICE

Ok guys, here's my newest work for practice theming!!! LOL It's based off an idea that popped into my mind that had not truly been done b4, a Disney in the Rockies! LOL. So, here I have developed basically an entrance/turnstiles for the park.

OH DO mind the lack of scenery surroundign this area, I haven't started making he actual park yet, this is ONLY pre entrance, turnstiles, etc.

Now here goes....




The traditional Flowers but reversed! LOL.





An overview of my work.





A pitstop Monorail view stop.

I'd really stay away from those mountain scenery pieces. Just raise land instead if you want to simulate mountains. Those WW scenery pieces look horrible (they're taken from WW).

Your buildings are getting better, but a lof of them look illogical, with huge roof areas and small everything else. It's like the roof is crushing the stuff below.

More windows. Better windows. And don't have your paths just barge into everything like a bulldozer. Try using arches and stuff when a path goes into a building. This requires zero'ing clearances with teh 8cars trainer.

But at least you're trying and getting a bit better.

I have to agree, but those pieces aren't from WW, Corky. They are custom made and probably come from RCT-Mart. Those roof pieces are from TT though, unless those are the converted ones. I don't recommend using any of the official expension packs, since they contain a lot of bad objects (not all are bad though) and almost nobody has WW (or doesn't have it installed like me)
Back to the park: I can't say I like it, but I have to admit you're trying. However don't expect to build good instantly. Practice and a motherload of patience are the key here. The best advice I can give you is to use scenery that fits in rct. PT benches and recent spotlights/runner-up have those. I always use the PT1 bench to create my bench and I change it to my needs.
Second, if you're going for Disney Style, then just try to re-create certain parts of it. However do it the following way: try to get all detail in there and try to perfect it. After that you might try to upgrade it/modify it to get some feeling for it.

Pimp Mountains? You do realize that disney is generally geared towards younger children, right?

It was a pun.... hehe.

yeah 'pimp' is apparently an adjective now.

Oh.. thats pimp.

Oh. They were so bad I really couldn't tell the difference.

Ok guys, new look here! NO fake mountains, replaced with REAL ones. LOL!

New view of this buildings







Another new view of a much different building.

Better, altho I'd still say your smaller buildings still look too walled in and need windows, or even spots where there could be windows.

Try bigger windows.

No offense this scenery has little to show for the magic of Disney. My advice try reworking your scenery to make it look more realistic and besides that less trees and a new footpath.

from his first post.

Well this wasn't REALLY goin to be he park, it was more like a first draft, I mean im still kinda trying to get theming down, so Im practicing and fiddeling around with ideas, this is like a sketch on a napkin for what I really plan to do. Im a restart this project, but keep the same atmosphere. I'll prolly use PT2 WkBnch or something rather than scenario editor.

Better then your other stuff. Took my advice and viewed some Meretrix parks I guess?

Although my opinion is a minority when it comes to WW & TT, I liked the rocks! I do not understand the general opinion that those pieces "look bad". Any piece can look bad especially if it's in the wrong place or has the wrong color. Oh well, you know what they say about opinions . . .

Give the land some more height variation, now everything is smooth and looks a bit boring. Try to do it like you did with that tunnel through the land, it just makes it more interesting to look at. Also try to be a bit more careful with the tree selection and don't just place them randomly.
Take a look at some other parks maybe to get the idea...oh and get rid of the park border fence. For the rest, just keep on building and you'll improve automaticly.
